Kwinika said Petersen has saved the team on numerous occasions and backed the keeper to bounce back against Sekhukhune.
“He is a big boy, he’s got a thick skin and we have trust in him. Go back and check how many saves he has made in the past games — we want to focus on that and that is the funny thing about football.
“He has helped us a lot of times, showing he is capable. If you go back to that game we played against Sundowns, I don’t know how many saves he made.
“Football, or life being life, there will always be that one mistake and people will always judge you on that — but knowing him and the person he is, he is in it and ready to go again. If we put him [in] again, he will be ready to go.”
Eighth-placed Chiefs go into this match on the back of four matches without a win in all competitions and they are under pressure to return to winning ways.
